Brought to our attention by Scottish blogger and linguist, Ewan MacIntosh, John Naughton electrified last week’s Society of Editors conference by passionately savaging newspaper’s coverage of today’s youth. Please read the text of his speech. He could easily be talking about teachers and education.
The novelist William Gibson coined the term ‘cyberspace’, and he’s as sharp as a razor. He also said: ‘The future is already here: it’s just not evenly distributed.’ As it happens, I think he’s right and I’m not sure it’s good news for those of us who work in the newspaper industry. Because if the future is already here, then the only inference one can draw is that our industry hasn’t been paying much attention to it.
